00:01:53 Einstein was then celebrating...
00:01:55 ... the 70th birthday anniversary...
00:01:58 ...and there was a colloquium
00:02:02 And he said.:
00:02:05 "God doesn't play dice
00:02:09 No, he just plays hide-and-seek.
00:02:12 Learn to write screenplays,
00:02:16 Jesus, they're so full of it.
00:02:18 You can't teach writing.
00:02:21 ...to good work and hope
00:02:24 Some can write,
00:02:28 You lose patience
00:02:32 No, that isn't true. That's crazy.
00:02:34 It's worth it when you get
00:02:38 A girl in my class
00:02:40 "Oral Sex in the Age of
00:02:43 -It's full of insight, romantic--
00:02:46 Jack will wanna take us
00:02:49 I think Sally's tired
00:02:52 -Hi.
00:02:55 Hi.
00:02:58 Let me take your coat.
00:03:00 I opened some white wine.
00:03:03 They're doing something at 80th.
00:03:06 Jack? You want some cold white wine?
00:03:10 When I go to your place, it's murder.
00:03:12 So, Chinese, right? I can't
00:03:17 Listen, don't get crazy, you know?
00:03:20 Before we go out to dinner
00:03:25 -You want to?
00:03:27 -What? What?
00:03:31 Jack and I are splitting up.
00:03:33 Oh, I see. It's just--
00:03:36 We discussed this for a long time
00:03:41 You are joking, of course.
00:03:43 Don't make a big deal, okay?
00:03:46 -Are you serious?
00:03:49 -We both-- We discussed it.
00:03:53 What do you mean?
00:03:55 Let's go talk about this at dinner.
00:03:59 I'm not going out to dinner.
00:04:01 Since when has this been decided?
00:04:06 We've been discussing it.
00:04:08 Don't be worried.
00:04:11 You see? We're fine.
00:04:13 -What is the reason?
00:04:15 Gabe, it's none of our business.
00:04:18 Don't turn this into a tragedy.
00:04:22 How can you break up? It's insane.
00:04:24 You're Jack and Sally.
00:04:27 Our kids are grown up.
00:04:30 We won't bore you with details.
00:04:32 I can't get my mind around this.
00:04:37 She's right.
00:04:41 Gabe, it's not our business.
00:04:43 -I'm fascinated by this.
00:04:46 We didn't wanna ruin anything.
00:04:48 -We wanna see what it's like to be--
00:04:53 Don't not support us.
00:04:56 This is insanity.
00:04:59 She's keeping the place in Riverdale.
00:05:04 I just feel shattered.
00:05:06 -Oh, come on, Judy.
00:05:09 Come on, let's eat.
00:05:11 What do you mean,
00:05:14 " Come on"? I can't eat.
00:05:16 -Don't get angry.
00:05:18 -I'm not angry!
00:05:20 You march in here and announce
00:05:24 You have two kids!
00:05:27 This is not our business.
00:05:29 Why not? They're our
00:05:32 There is no one traumatic event.
00:05:35 People grow apart. It's a lot of
00:05:40 I don't wanna hear this bullshit.
00:05:43 -Why is she so upset?
00:05:45 She cares about us.
00:05:47 Well, I care about you too.
00:05:49 -We're fine, okay?
00:05:51 -We wanna do this.
00:05:54 Why are you taking
00:05:57 I'm upset! All right?
00:06:00 I've discussed this in therapy.
00:06:03 You have? You never said a word!
00:06:06 -You said this wasn't our business.
00:06:11 I assumed we were.
00:06:12 She's very upset.
00:06:14 Will you please not
00:06:17 Why is this such a personal thing
00:06:21 Let's just go out to dinner
00:06:24 -Judy, come on!
00:06:29 So why were you so upset?
00:06:31 I don't know. I really don't know.
00:06:34 -It was a total shock?
00:06:37 They were so casual about it.
00:06:39 They didn't seem to be
00:06:43 Were you hurt because Sally never
00:06:47 Well....
00:06:49 I think, if I look hard--
00:06:52 ...when we were alone together--
00:06:55 She may have occasionally
00:06:59 ...what it would be like
00:07:02 Now, with all she knew, all she'd
00:07:07 But she never said anything
00:07:10 Before we go on, tell us
00:07:14 So we know who you are.
00:07:16 Okay. My name is Judy Roth.
00:07:20 We've been married about 1 0 years.
00:07:23 I work for an art magazine.
00:07:27 I have a daughter
00:07:30 I was married when I was very young,
00:07:34 It didn't work out.
00:07:38 Judy told us they did
00:07:41 She said she was tense and nervous,
00:07:46 Afterwards, they walked home.
00:07:48 She tried to participate,
00:07:53 All in all, she said,
00:07:58 It's amazing, isn't it?
00:08:00 You think you're friendly
00:08:04 ...you really have no idea
00:08:09 Do you ever hide things from me?
00:08:13 Me? What kind of things?
00:08:16 I don't know. Feelings, you know.
00:08:18 Longings. Complaints.
00:08:22 No.
00:08:25 -Do you?
00:08:29 Sometimes, maybe.
00:08:31 Really? Like what?
00:08:33 I don't know. You know how
00:08:38 We've had this conversation.
00:08:40 You're definitely in a strange
00:08:43 I'm fine. I'm sorry.
00:08:46 Jack never gave you an inkling?
00:08:51 I remember one incident
00:08:55 Jack, trust me on this.
00:08:57 This girl is to die.
00:08:59 Shawn Grainger, she's built
00:09:02 You will have the time of your life.
00:09:05 And for $200, believe me,
00:09:08 I'm not gonna do it.
00:09:11 She's not a whore.
00:09:15 She'll do anything you want.
00:09:20 What about my wife? It's dangerous.
00:09:22 Who was the guy who told me...
00:09:25 ...that your sex life
00:09:28 Come on, at a two-martini
00:09:32 Shawn has got a mouth
00:09:36 She was a former
00:09:39 What exactly did I say at lunch?
00:09:42 You said that Sally was cold,
00:09:46 ...dying to fuck
00:09:49 I should never drink at lunch.
00:09:51 I'm gonna write down the number.
00:09:54 -I advise you to--
00:09:57 Hey. What--?
00:09:58 Have I steered you wrong?
00:10:00 -I've never--
00:10:02 There it is. Use it.
00:10:13 He called. I thought it was about
00:10:17 He was polite on the phone.
00:10:20 I can always tell who's inexperienced.
00:10:24 He wanted to meet
00:10:27 When I got there he was very polite,
00:10:33 He couldn't go through with it.
00:10:38 He had pains in his chest.
00:10:42 ...a heart attack, but they passed.
00:10:45 -That was the last you saw of him?
00:10:49 We met at the same hotel.
00:10:53 Then I started seeing him fairly
00:10:58 He said he'd seen a psychiatrist
00:11:02 Once I couldn't make it
00:11:05 Then he started seeing both of us.
00:11:08 Then neither one of us
00:11:11 -At least he threw the number away.
00:11:16 But Jack is not a hooker guy.
00:11:18 He's very strait-laced.
00:11:20 And Sally's cold in bed.
00:11:22 That's no surprise.
00:11:26 Am I cold in bed?
00:11:28 No. Why would you say that?
00:11:30 But I'm inhibited, right?
00:11:33 You can't forget that.
00:11:38 Which you blew up into
00:11:41 Do you ever want to sleep
00:11:44 Me? No, definitely not.
00:11:47 When I was in college, I did.
00:11:49 Yeah?
00:11:50 You're in an odd mood. Their breakup
00:11:55 You think--
00:11:57 You think we'd ever break up?
00:12:00 What? I'm not planning it, are you?
00:12:03 -No.
00:12:05 But I don't know how I'll feel if you
00:12:11 Are we gonna have that
00:12:15 -You have a daughter--
00:12:17 I want another.
00:12:20 Why?
00:12:21 It's cruel to bring life
00:12:25 Don't glorify your refusal
00:12:29 You should see the angry look
00:12:34 You wanna make love?
00:12:38 Okay, if we can get
00:12:42 -I can't just do it on command.
00:12:46 Okay, so put your diaphragm on.
00:12:54 You'd never say you were
00:12:58 ...and then not do it, right?
00:13:00 What?
00:13:02 What a thing to say!
00:13:04 That's a terrible thing to say.
00:13:06 You really trust no one. No wonder
00:13:11 -Okay. I apologize.
00:13:13 -I'm tired. It's 1 a.m.
00:13:17 -Are you still attracted to me?
00:13:20 -Truly?
00:13:22 -We do it less and less.
00:13:27 When we wanted to, we found time.
00:13:30 -Come here.
00:13:33 Sit and relax for a minute, will you?
00:13:36 If you remember clearly, when we
00:13:41 ...you never really liked it.
00:13:45 You always heard people
00:13:49 Now you remember it
00:13:52 -Are you ever attracted to other women?
00:13:56 Like all the women you have in class,
00:14:01 I'm sure they worship you.
00:14:04 Can I tell you that they don't
00:14:08 I think an old man does better
00:14:13 Then we're definitely
00:14:16 Now, come on. You're really....
00:14:19 Come on.
00:14:26 Some time later,
00:14:29 ...a colleague at work
00:14:54 -Sally. Come in.
00:14:57 Come into my rent-stabilized den.
00:15:00 -Can I take your coat?
00:15:03 I love it. Thank you.
00:15:06 I thought we'd have a drink.
00:15:09 I was able to get tickets
00:15:12 -Great.
00:15:16 -What would you like?
00:15:19 White wine.
00:15:28 I hear the staging of this opera
00:15:32 Oh, really? How fabulous.
00:15:36 That's lovely.
00:15:38 Oh, hey, don't worry about it.
00:15:42 -Can I use the phone?
00:15:45 -I'm looking forward to it.
00:15:48 A good friend of mine did the sets.
00:15:53 It's me. You are living with her,
00:15:58 Don't lie to me, Jack. You are.
00:16:01 Because I know.
00:16:03 Because I do.
00:16:04 Yes, I heard.
00:16:07 It's been three fucking weeks!
00:16:10 How did you meet someone so fast?
00:16:13 Bullshit. You had to have
00:16:16 Bullshit! Don't give me that shit!
00:16:20 Oh, you're in love?
00:16:23 So fast?
00:16:27 I don't fucking believe it!
00:16:30 You were seeing whoever it is
00:16:35 Of course, I expected things
00:16:39 Are you that sure?
00:16:44 No, I'm not.
00:16:47 Oh, God, it's just fucking
00:16:56 Hi, you--?
00:16:59 I'm fine.
00:17:01 -If you're having a personal--
00:17:05 I'm looking forward to tonight.
00:17:08 Don Giovanni.
00:17:10 A Don Juan story.
00:17:13 I can only think of it as Mozart.
00:17:16 Fucking Don Juans.
00:17:18 They should have cut his
00:17:23 Can I get you some more wine?
00:17:26 Please.
00:17:31 You know, we don't have to go.
00:17:33 No. I'm not gonna
00:17:38 I've been dying to see this opera.
00:17:41 -Excuse me one second.
00:17:44 Hello. Me again.
00:17:46 I know who she is.
00:17:47 Bullshit! It's Gail.
00:17:50 She's been after you since she joined
00:17:55 Don't lie to me, Jack.
00:17:58 She's your type.
00:18:00 She's bright and all that
00:18:05 I thought it was an experiment!
00:18:10 I didn't realize you were
00:18:14 That's bullshit! I don't
00:18:20 -What time do we have to be there?
00:18:23 ...I don't really think I can
00:18:28 What are you upset about? Fucking men!
00:18:32 A woman gets to this age,
00:18:35 Don't defend your sex! It's true!
00:18:40 It's great till you start to show your
00:18:45 Sally.
00:18:47 Sally, you're--
00:18:50 You're a very attractive woman,
00:18:55 It was a terrible blow to my ego.
00:18:59 That we were experimenting.
00:19:02 But if you had met someone first...?
00:19:06 Probably right.
00:19:08 Probably would've done
00:19:11 I had fantasized about
00:19:17 It's hard to keep a marriage
00:19:21 All the frustration and baggage.
00:19:25 I don't know.
00:19:29 Gail came to his office
00:19:32 I'd met her several times.
00:19:34 Look, what can I say? She's...
00:19:37 ...cultivated, intelligent.
00:19:40 It's what he likes.
00:19:42 She'd been over to the house
00:19:45 She loved my taste in everything.
00:19:50 What can I say?
00:20:05 Listen, your short story
00:20:10 -Really?
00:20:11 I was very impressed, I must say.
00:20:14 It was probably the best this term.
00:20:17 -It was wonderful.
00:20:19 The insights were great,
00:20:23 You know, in general, I was impressed.
00:20:26 -God, I'm blushing, right?
00:20:30 My face gets all red.
00:20:32 I may just cry.
00:20:34 Well, don't take it that badly.
00:20:39 It was great. Wonderful.
00:20:41 Your approbation means
00:20:44 You're the reason why
00:20:47 -Really?
00:20:50 My family and I, we used to quote
00:20:54 How do you remember that story?
00:20:57 "Giving up his hopes...
00:20:59 ...compromising one's dreams,
00:21:03 I love that!
00:21:05 You remember that. That's great.
00:21:08 Listen. You can hear my heart beating.
00:21:11 How'd you get the name Rain?
00:21:13 My parents named me after...
00:21:17 ...Rilke.
00:21:18 -Did they?
00:21:23 So that's how I got it.
00:21:25 Are your folks, you know, writers?
00:21:27 No, my dad's an investment banker
00:21:32 Are you an only child?
00:21:36 -Why are you asking these questions?
00:21:40 I was so impressed.
00:21:42 I gave it to someone else
00:21:46 Oh, really?
00:21:47 -Are you from New York?
00:21:51 -Are these too many questions?
00:21:54 It's just the only child one.
00:22:00 So how did you manage
00:22:04 I mean, have you had a--?
00:22:05 Have you been married and divorced?
00:22:08 Is your whole family stormy
00:22:12 What? I didn't know I was stormy
00:22:16 Well, the writing was very--
00:22:19 -It was intense.
00:22:21 It's just a trick, you know?
00:22:25 ...when I was 1 0, I wrote
00:22:29 ...and I'd never been there.
00:22:31 You don't have to--
00:22:35 -You don't have to know or--
00:22:48 There are a number of very good
00:22:53 ...for seducing their female pupils.
00:22:58 ...because it's a cinch.
00:23:00 You know, they look up to them.
00:23:03 You know, they're older men...
00:23:05 ...and students are flattered
00:23:09 It's not something I've ever done.
00:23:14 Some of those women are
00:23:18 But I've never--
00:23:20 I've never acted on it.
00:23:22 I've never cheated on Judy.
00:23:25 Or any other relationship
00:23:29 Because that has not been my style.
00:23:32 But, once--
00:23:34 One time, many years ago...
00:23:36 ...I was living with this fabulous,
00:23:40 ...named Harriet Harmon.
00:23:42 I'm ashamed to say this,
00:23:46 ...was the great love of my life.
00:23:48 It was a very passionate relationship.
00:23:53 And, you know, we just
00:23:57 She was sexually carnivorous.
00:24:00 We did it in stalled elevators...
00:24:02 ...and in bushes and people's houses,
00:24:08 In the back of cars, she'd
00:24:12 ...and grab my hand and
00:24:16 She was really something.
00:24:18 And she, you know,
00:24:23 You know? She wanted
00:24:28 She got into dope for a while.
00:24:32 ...that you sniff when she'd
00:24:36 I was getting a real education.
00:24:38 I was fascinated.
00:24:42 And ultimately she wound up
00:24:47 I mean, it's not funny,
00:24:51 She was great, but nuts.
00:24:55 See, I've always had this penchant...
00:24:59 ...for what I call " kamikaze women."
00:25:02 I call them kamikazes because
00:25:06 They crash it into you,
00:25:10 As soon as there's little chance
00:25:14 ...something clicks in my mind.
00:25:19 A dramatic or aesthetic component
00:25:22 ...and I go after that person.
00:25:24 There's a certain dramatic ambience
00:25:29 ...as if I fall in love
00:25:32 Of course, it has not
00:25:36 It has not been great and--
00:25:39 A few weeks after Jack
00:25:42 You know, he and I didn't speak much.
00:25:44 I found him elusive.
00:25:49 She was depressed.
00:25:52 I'd be scared to live alone
00:25:55 It's really scary.
00:25:57 There have been burglaries.
00:26:01 And nearby, people were at home.
00:26:03 It's lucky for them
00:26:06 I would die. I'd never
00:26:10 -You wanna get something to eat?
00:26:13 Hey.
00:26:19 -This is Sam.
00:26:20 -This is Gabe and Sally.
00:26:23 -I have to go. Sorry.
00:26:26 No, I have an appointment.
00:26:28 -Really?
00:26:30 -I have to go.
00:26:33 I just wanted you--
00:26:39 God!
00:26:52 -Some coincidence.
00:26:54 -What was your name?
00:26:56 Sam. Right.
00:26:57 -So you guys are just walking?
00:27:01 -What do you do, Sam?
00:27:04 And I'm a trainer and some nutrition.
00:27:08 You wanna have dinner at the house?
00:27:11 -She's a great cook.
00:27:12 I don't think--
00:27:14 -It's vegetarian.
00:27:16 -You don't eat meat, do you?
00:27:20 I used to eat meat, then I gave it up.
00:27:25 -...and I got so bloated!
00:27:29 -Oh, yeah! I flip over couscous!
00:27:33 -Whatever you want.
00:27:36 Yeah. We'll watch the Grammys.
00:27:38 I'm not watching that.
00:27:40 -I bet Jill over the best single!
00:27:45 -My mother's in town.
00:27:49 Okay, maybe later.
00:27:53 I'd like to pick up some decaf.
00:27:56 Oh, there's a great store.
00:28:00 She is so great. You know,
00:28:05 -She's into fitness.
00:28:08 She is terrific. She's a nice girl.
00:28:12 Her father's in police work.
00:28:15 I can't get my mind around it.
00:28:20 -Careful. I'm serious about her.
00:28:25 It's like your IQ is in remission.
00:28:28 -It's like you had a stroke.
00:28:33 -You're not my rabbi.
00:28:36 You're with Sally for years.
00:28:41 -So she's a ball-breaker sometimes--
00:28:44 I lived with her, you don't know her.
00:28:47 I don't? So tell me something terrible.
00:28:50 There's nothing terrible to tell you.
00:28:53 I don't wanna hurt her.
00:28:57 Suddenly you take up
00:29:02 -She's not a cocktail waitress.
00:29:06 She's warm and she's nice
00:29:11 Sally was hyper. You know that.
00:29:14 She's great, but she's
00:29:17 Her Radcliffe friends and the crap
00:29:21 I was bored at the opera.
00:29:23 She'd never go to a game.
00:29:28 If I put an ashtray down
00:29:31 -It took 1 5 years to understand this?
00:29:37 But we had kids and we're
00:29:40 I love Sally. But what's
00:29:44 -What am l? A snob?
00:29:48 Big deal. So she's not
00:29:51 I want somebody who screams
00:29:54 She's a fucking cocktail waitress.
00:29:58 That's not your business. You don't
00:30:02 I'm tired of being corrected
00:30:06 That's all I ever did with Sally.
00:30:08 And your mother is not in town.
00:30:12 I think no matter how hard we worked,
00:30:18 How long were you and Judy married?
00:30:22 Five years.
00:30:23 -Why did you split up?
00:30:27 I felt I had just run out of gas.
00:30:31 But as I look back, I think
00:30:35 So she left you?
00:30:36 No, she'd never--
00:30:41 Don't let Judy fool you. She's
00:30:45 Everything is,
00:30:49 But she gets what she wants.
00:30:51 I remember when she met her
00:30:55 My husband and daughter are staying...
00:30:58 ...but I'm leaving tomorrow.
00:31:01 -Let me give you a lift.
00:31:06 -Why go on the train?
00:31:09 -Would you like something to eat?
00:31:13 -I was just on my way.
00:31:17 -Pasta? Anything else?
00:31:19 -I can easily get a cab.
00:31:23 See? He winds up getting the food.
00:31:26 He changes his schedule,
00:31:29 And all the time it's,
00:31:34 What he doesn't say is that for
00:31:39 ...he was virtually impotent,
00:31:42 He was just raging because I didn't
00:31:47 He thought I'd be one thing.
00:31:51 And I couldn't take the fact that
00:31:56 He'd give you an appliance
00:32:00 I never got her a Melior coffeemaker
00:32:05 I got her a camera once.
00:32:07 And an enlarger for our anniversary.
00:32:10 She asked for it.
00:32:15 What are you thinking about?
00:32:17 I don't know.
00:32:19 I was thinking about
00:32:23 -It's just a terrible novel--
00:32:27 -What else can I work on?
00:32:31 Why insulted?
00:32:32 The way we met.
00:32:36 "He spotted her from a distance
00:32:40 He was drawn to her instantly
00:32:45 ... of his only genuine passion.
00:32:47 His sixth sense told him
00:32:50 But she wasn't Harriet. The minute
00:32:55 -So she wasn't crazy.
00:32:58 She's the best.
00:33:01 -But he pays a price.
00:33:05 You're wrong. It's full
00:33:10 -You're prejudiced, you're my wife.
00:33:13 I don't know why you ask
00:33:17 -It's not true.
00:33:20 I think it's a mediocre novel.
00:33:23 You have no respect for my judgment.
00:33:28 -...you'd accept it totally.
00:33:33 After some time,
00:33:36 Sally made a surprising announcement.
00:33:39 I like being single.
00:33:42 You do?
00:33:45 That's anticipatory anxiety.
00:33:48 You realize it's not as bad as you
00:33:53 All the festering wounds of your
00:33:57 ...the resentments, they're gone
00:34:03 After years of accumulating problems
00:34:08 -...you have a chance to begin again.
00:34:13 The clock ticks faster for a woman.
00:34:18 The one advantage
00:34:22 ...you have a lot of experience.
00:34:24 I have a better shot
00:34:28 ...if I met someone.
00:34:30 If Gabe and I met now,
00:34:33 ...we'd have a better relationship.
00:34:37 Would you still marry him?
00:34:39 God, what a question!
00:34:45 You know, for me, I just--
00:34:48 The thought of breaking up
00:34:51 You can't stay out of fear.
00:34:54 -What?
00:34:59 Well...
00:35:01 ...I've pictured myself free.
00:35:05 -I know you have.
00:35:08 Because you got so angry
00:35:11 ...when Jack and I said
00:35:14 I realized we must have
00:35:17 -No.
00:35:22 You were angry because I did
00:35:26 You're over-dramatizing.
00:35:31 -Nobody has it perfect.
00:35:35 When it's good,
00:35:38 Listen, I think maybe I have
00:35:42 -Tell me.
00:35:44 The one you said was attractive?
00:35:48 He's only been there a few months.
00:35:50 He had a girlfriend,
00:35:53 I do think he's attractive.
00:35:58 The timing's perfect.
00:36:00 Come up to the office now
00:36:05 If you're interested,
00:36:08 ...arrange something
00:36:11 Michael, this is Sally.
00:36:16 -She's with the Preservation Committee.
00:36:20 I don't believe in capital punishment
00:36:25 Not just New York.
00:36:26 There's always a blind passion
00:36:30 Listen, you two wait here
00:36:35 -Take your coat off.
00:36:38 Throw it anywhere.
00:36:41 ...of German furniture styles
00:36:45 I hate that period. I did my college
00:36:50 It was called " Function and Fascism."
00:36:55 It was very unpopular. Not that it
00:37:00 Have a look at that chair.
00:37:03 -Isn't it wonderful?
00:37:06 -This one?
00:37:09 What do you think?
00:37:12 -Well, yes. He seems nice.
00:37:14 -I think he's great-looking.
00:37:18 I'm telling you, he just broke up.
00:37:21 I don't know him that well.
00:37:24 He's quiet.
00:37:26 He's got a great sense of humour.
00:37:31 There was a party here
00:37:34 He was quoting Yeats' poems
00:37:37 He was? He weeps?
00:37:39 But in the sweetest way.
00:37:44 He already asked me to lunch.
00:37:47 He did?
00:37:52 We both took courses at Cambridge.
00:37:55 He suggested we have lunch
00:37:58 That would be great.
00:38:02 I took an instant liking for Sally.
00:38:07 She spoke her mind,
00:38:11 And she's very sexy, you know?
00:38:14 Look, I wasn't looking
00:38:18 ...I'd just split up with Amy
00:38:22 But with Sally, there was something
00:38:27 -So you were grateful to Judy?
00:38:32 It's funny, you know.
00:38:34 When I first got to know Judy,
00:38:40 And I thought she must be
00:38:44 I met her husband, they seemed
00:38:48 She's very giving...
00:38:50 ...and she did me this favour
00:38:54 Your second story was as interesting
00:38:59 -Great!
00:39:01 I'm thrilled.
00:39:04 You're so encouraging to me.
00:39:08 Don't be silly.
00:39:11 You're the opinion.
00:39:13 Your line was great. " Life doesn't
00:39:18 -I think it's completely true.
00:39:22 I can't tell you how much your
00:39:27 Listen, you wanna go for a walk?
00:39:31 A walk?
00:39:32 -You're busy, right?
00:39:35 I just meant for a walk,
00:39:38 You want to hear more
00:39:41 The way you structured the story--
00:39:46 ...beautifully and you released
00:39:51 -That was very sophisticated.
00:39:54 I spent five days searching for
00:39:58 ...and came up with "appucious."
00:40:02 -I couldn't find it in the dictionary.
00:40:05 -Oh, really?
00:40:09 Tolstoy is a full meal.
00:40:12 Turgenev is a fabulous dessert.
00:40:16 Dostoyevsky?
00:40:18 Dostoyevsky is a full meal with
00:40:23 " I fall upon the thorns of life.
00:40:26 I used to think that was
00:40:30 To write, to fall in love,
00:40:35 Really? You think passion
00:40:39 I don't know.
00:40:40 Time magazine said you lose
00:40:44 ...for the other person
00:40:48 Time must know, right?
00:40:51 I sometimes think
00:40:54 Europe in general.
00:40:57 I like café life. I'd like
00:41:01 Sounds great.
00:41:02 Walking the streets
00:41:05 Until you've been kissed on
00:41:09 ...you've never been kissed.
00:41:11 -And were you kissed?
00:41:15 Okay, I was wondering...
00:41:19 -...if I could read your novel.
00:41:23 You mentioned it
00:41:26 -I'm very disenchanted with it.
00:41:30 I know. I'm only asking you because
00:41:34 I would like to know what you
00:41:39 ...and why you're so critical
00:41:42 Let me think about it.
00:41:45 -Are you okay?
00:41:46 Let me think about it.
00:41:51 -I shouldn't have asked you.
00:41:54 -Let me think about it.
00:41:57 Gabe. He's always picked
00:42:01 She's the first sane woman
00:42:06 ...to the crazies, the nut cases.
00:42:09 I got a couple of theories about it.
00:42:13 ...he knows it's not gonna work
00:42:17 That kind of atones
00:42:21 ...early-on guilt he's got over--
00:42:25 Another is, like all of us,
00:42:29 ...movies and novels where
00:42:34 How are things going with Sam?
00:42:37 Great. Absolutely great.
00:42:41 We had a run down by the river.
00:42:46 It was terrific. I'm down
00:42:51 It feels incredible
00:42:55 Salads, no meat.
00:42:58 Later in the day, we rented
00:43:02 Some sort of dopey, funny,
00:43:06 Something Sally wouldn't have
00:43:10 I had a terrific time and I didn't
00:43:15 She's not Simone de Beauvoir.
00:43:18 Trust me. It's King Lear. Shakespeare
00:43:23 Well, Mr. Intellectual. Shakespeare
00:43:29 That's wonderful.
00:43:31 I was just gonna make
00:43:34 -No.
00:43:36 I'm positive. Absolutely.
00:43:41 Don't start getting excited.
00:43:45 I want to make love to you
00:43:49 -What are you talking about?
00:43:54 I thought maybe I've been
00:43:58 -...a child too strenuously.
00:44:02 -Since when?
00:44:04 These are some thoughts
00:44:08 Maybe it would be helpful.
00:44:11 What kind of help
00:44:14 Are you unhappy in our marriage?
00:44:17 I don't think about it that much.
00:44:22 It's late, I'm tired.
00:44:26 All I said was, it was
00:44:30 -It's not such a good idea.
00:44:34 We have some straightening out
00:44:39 You wanted a baby.
00:44:42 -Do you want somebody new?
00:44:45 Who? Like who? Do you?
00:44:50 -Certainly not a baby.
00:44:52 -Because I thought you wanted--
00:44:58 Something you wanna say
00:45:01 We don't want to get into something
00:45:05 You don't want a baby, right?
00:45:09 -You know I do.
00:45:12 But not tonight.
00:45:16 -I'm sorry.
00:45:18 I'm begging you to have
00:45:21 -I knew you didn't want it.
00:45:25 You know, it's late
00:45:28 We have a fine marriage. I don't
00:45:34 Michael? I brought you a won ton soup
00:45:39 Thanks, Judy.
00:45:41 -I see you're going to Carnegie Hall.
00:45:46 -Really?
00:45:49 She will. It's my favourite.
00:45:53 I've got this great place
00:45:57 A little supper joint.
00:46:00 -Courtyard, trellis, fairy lights.
00:46:05 It is. It is.
00:46:08 It's funny seeing someone
00:46:13 I bet it's been a while since
00:46:17 Yes, I'm sure.
00:46:20 I'm such a square. I'm old-fashioned.
00:46:25 Music, intimate restaurants,
00:46:30 Amy used to say I should
00:46:34 -She found it all a bit corny.
00:46:39 You go for that stuff too,
00:46:42 -Oh, sure.
00:47:10 -Tonight was fun, eh?
00:47:14 And that music was fantastic.
00:47:16 I usually hate Mahler,
00:47:20 The last movement's too long.
00:47:22 The second movement was good.
00:47:26 -Then it gets sentimental.
00:47:28 The conductor fought his way out.
00:47:31 Dinner was wonderful.
00:47:33 Although I should teach the chef
00:47:37 -Sorry.
00:47:39 -Is it okay?
00:47:41 I'd love to.
00:47:44 I'm yawning because I'm hyper-
00:47:49 I'm sorry. I'm not the greatest
00:47:53 No, your driving was fine,
00:47:56 I shouldn't have had the last one.
00:48:00 I couldn't finish the second.
00:48:03 Ah, this is lovely.
00:48:06 Very homely. English pine.
00:48:09 I prefer French.
00:48:12 It's too big.
00:48:15 It's funny how your whole life
00:48:20 -There's been robberies.
00:48:23 Do you want to get married again
00:48:28 I love being single.
00:48:30 Because I think certain personalities
00:48:34 -I disagree.
00:48:38 Not me. I thought I did.
00:48:41 I do. I do.
00:48:45 So why have you
00:48:48 Oh, I don't know.
00:48:51 ...in my 20s once,
00:48:54 -Is wine okay?
00:48:57 I want to be alone
00:49:01 I want to have a few experiences.
00:49:05 If not, that's just fine.
00:49:07 I'm sure you'll get what you want.
00:49:11 -You're a very beautiful woman.
00:49:25 -I can't go so fast.
00:49:28 It's just, you know....
00:49:30 -It's not my rhythm.
00:49:33 Thank you.
00:49:35 I haven't been
00:49:38 ...that's meant anything to me
00:49:42 Thank you.
00:49:45 I wouldn't be with you...
00:49:47 ...if I wasn't at least
00:49:54 -Well, cheers.
00:49:57 Tonight's meant a lot to me.
00:50:00 Lovely.
00:50:11 -What's the rush?
00:50:15 I'm overanxious because
00:50:20 Oh, dear.
00:50:25 I haven't made love
00:50:30 My marriage, I told you, was dead.
00:50:34 I don't know why. Yes, I do.
00:50:38 Sooner or later, everything
00:50:44 Strange, often one
00:50:47 I did.
00:50:49 That's the part that kills me.
00:50:51 I was in town working.
00:50:57 All of a sudden,
00:51:17 -Hi. How you doing?
00:51:20 It was good.
00:51:23 The old guy doesn't want to settle.
00:51:27 He's a tough old bird, boy.
00:51:35 I couldn't bring it up.
00:51:37 I was so hurt.
00:51:41 And scared.
00:51:45 For weeks...
00:51:47 ...I waited for him to say he'd
00:51:51 Although I was suspicious,
00:51:55 So I chose to overlook it
00:52:00 But it didn't.
00:52:03 Because I began thinking...
00:52:08 ...of getting rid of him...
00:52:10 ...and being single.
00:52:12 And things just got worse
00:52:16 We put up bigger and bigger fronts.
00:52:21 Now I'm single.
00:52:22 And I realize I'm one of those
00:52:33 -Hey! Hey! Come here.
00:52:36 -Where are you going?
00:52:39 -Come on, I'll give you a lift.
00:52:42 Come on.
00:52:44 -I have a surprise.
00:52:46 I don't know if you'll think so.
00:52:50 Oh, great! Oh, that's great!
00:52:53 -You have to go easy on it because--
00:52:58 -Wanna come up?
00:53:00 Meet my parents.
00:53:04 Don't you wanna see how I live?
00:53:08 -This is why I don't see you.
00:53:12 -You're mistaken.
00:53:16 You're not what I imagined.
00:53:18 This isn't my boyfriend.
00:53:21 -Your professor?
00:53:23 -I'm Professor Gabriel Roth.
00:53:27 -Columbia?
00:53:29 -Barnard.
00:53:32 -Come on.
00:53:34 -You seduce all your students?
00:53:39 Okay, just go, please.
00:53:41 -What are you doing here?
00:53:44 I did not!
00:53:47 When you have her in your arms,
00:53:51 -I don't know what to say.
00:53:55 You're acting like a 1 5-year-old--
00:53:59 You're sorry.
00:54:01 -I don't know.
00:54:05 I am. What?
00:54:09 -I'm cold.
00:54:10 This is my mother.
00:54:13 It is such an immense pleasure.
00:54:16 -That's my father.
00:54:19 It is an honour, sir.
00:54:22 Nothing.
00:54:25 Just a sedative, if you have one.
00:54:30 I'll tell you about it later.
00:54:35 We're fans of yours.
00:54:39 -Let me take your coat.
00:54:43 What were you going to tell me
00:54:46 I better start from the beginning
00:54:51 My father, he had this...
00:54:55 -...his business partner.
00:54:59 This is why I have to start from
00:55:05 My father's business partner,
00:55:09 And one day, he told me that
00:55:14 I was very flattered,
00:55:18 He was real bright and single.
00:55:21 We started having this affair.
00:55:27 I have this friend, Jane.
00:55:31 Her father, Jerry, developed this
00:55:37 And before long, I was seeing
00:55:41 Instead of being happy,
00:55:45 I couldn't get my feelings
00:55:51 I tried for a few months
00:55:55 Then, one day, he said
00:55:59 ...because he felt
00:56:02 ...since he was falling
00:56:06 I was taken with him. You can
00:56:11 And I started seeing him.
00:56:13 I did.
00:56:18 Something inside me
00:56:22 ...be a very stable person,
00:56:25 So I never really let things
00:56:30 Then one night I met Carl.
00:56:33 He was very sweet and
00:56:37 I came to my senses.
00:56:40 "What am I doing with
00:56:42 So I cleaned up my act
00:56:47 As you can see, Richard is so
00:56:52 God! You've got material for your
00:56:57 ...and an opera by Puccini here!
00:57:01 Yes, but don't you think I'm right?
00:57:05 What the hell am I doing
00:57:09 They're all wonderful,
00:57:13 In the end, I felt like
00:57:17 ...or unfulfilled dreams.
00:57:21 Gabe.
00:57:22 Rain's birthday is coming
00:57:26 -I don't know.
00:57:29 We would love you to come
00:57:34 Mom, he's not gonna
00:57:37 You've been a great influence
00:57:40 Well, she's great.
00:57:42 I'd consider it an honour
00:57:45 Just as Gabe gave his manuscript to
00:57:50 Listen, I finally got around to
00:57:55 -You can be honest.
00:57:58 -It's just a hobby.
00:58:03 -What does your husband say?
00:58:07 He'd be much too critical.
00:58:11 -He'd be right too.
00:58:16 There's a graveyard there
00:58:20 I used to say to Amy,
00:58:24 -Do you want to eat lunch outside?
00:58:48 -Are you soaked?
00:58:50 I think just my coat.
00:58:53 -Your hair's wet.
00:58:55 Thank you, Annie.
00:58:57 -That was fun.
00:59:01 Listen....
00:59:03 -Judy, can I speak frankly to you?
00:59:06 -Thanks for introducing me to Sally.
00:59:11 -I think I'm in love with her.
00:59:15 Not that she shares my feelings
00:59:19 -She hasn't been single that long.
00:59:23 ...I like someone and can't
00:59:27 You probably had--
00:59:29 You're just a little gun-shy
00:59:33 Is she as terrific as she seems?
00:59:36 She is.
00:59:38 ...honest and decent....
00:59:42 Thank you, Judy. You know
00:59:46 Do you mind if l--?
00:59:48 I'm just feeling a little funny.
00:59:51 -I'll get you a....
00:59:55 I don't know why I introduced them.
01:00:00 When obviously,
01:00:05 I was just confused.
01:00:19 You look good. You don't get any
01:00:24 Since Sally and I broke up, I'm single.
01:00:29 I saw Sally the other night.
01:00:33 Nice-looking.
01:00:36 Yeah, I think--
01:00:41 So....
01:00:43 What's the deal? Are they
01:00:47 We don't know.
01:00:48 I'm drunk, so don't hold me
01:00:53 Ken!
01:00:56 No, he's right. I know.
01:01:01 She's a great lady.
01:01:03 She'll be all right. This guy,
01:01:07 -Let's go.
01:01:10 You're okay, right? That girl,
01:01:14 What do you think?
01:01:18 -Don't know.
01:01:20 We didn't talk.
01:01:23 She looked great.
01:01:26 -Face work?
01:01:29 Where is Sam?
01:01:31 If astrology were true,
01:01:35 -It is totally provable!
01:01:38 Why wouldn't it have an influence
01:01:43 You know who believes this?
01:01:46 There is more crime
01:01:49 Well, who knows?
01:01:52 It's like the
01:01:55 You guys just don't get
01:01:59 You should meet my babysitter.
01:02:04 -She's been with me two months.
01:02:08 -My ex-wife believed in this.
01:02:12 I'm just making a point.
01:02:15 ...of the planets
01:02:19 I can't stress this enough.
01:02:22 -Be logical.
01:02:25 I would not put a Sagittarius--
01:02:27 Sam, we gotta go. Come on.
01:02:30 -We're just getting started.
01:02:34 -It's early!
01:02:38 -It was nice meeting you.
01:02:41 If you don't know what you're talking
01:02:45 They don't know what
01:02:48 You feel obligated to talk.
01:02:51 -I listen!
01:02:55 You are so rude.
01:02:58 -You're the expert.
01:03:02 Let's get out before
01:03:08 -This bullshit astrology. It's stupid.
01:03:12 I'm sick of listening to your crap
01:03:17 -Get in the car!
01:03:20 -Who do you think you're talking to?
01:03:24 They're making intellectual talk,
01:03:29 -Believe me, they're just stupid!
01:03:33 -I'm not going.
01:03:35 -Help!
01:03:37 Shut your mouth! Are you crazy?
01:03:40 -I wanna embarrass you!
01:03:42 -Are you coming?
01:03:45 ...stupid fucking asshole friends!
01:03:48 Get in.
01:03:50 -Where's my bag?
01:03:54 Here. Get in the car.
01:03:56 Goddamn, I must have been
01:04:01 -You're too drunk to drive.
01:04:07 -Goddamn it!
01:04:11 Let me out of here!
01:04:14 -Will you just stop?!
01:04:18 -Get in the car!
01:04:21 Trying to be cute?
01:04:22 No!
01:04:24 -Get in the car!
01:04:26 -Oh, I don't believe this.
01:04:29 What am I doing?
01:04:32 Get in the fucking car!
01:04:35 Christ!
01:05:01 You had an orgasm with Michael
01:05:05 I didn't. I was trying very hard.
01:05:08 -I was tense. I came close.
01:05:14 My mind gets racing with thoughts.
01:05:18 -I get so mentally hyperactive.
01:05:25 I liked what Michael
01:05:28 ...and it felt different
01:05:32 And...more exciting.
01:05:36 How different
01:05:39 How much deeper his
01:05:43 And I thought...
01:05:45 ...Michael was a hedgehog...
01:05:48 ...and Jack was a fox.
01:05:53 And then I thought...
01:05:54 ...Judy was a fox...
01:05:56 ...and Gabe was a hedgehog.
01:06:00 And I thought about all
01:06:03 ...and which were hedgehogs...
01:06:05 ...and which were foxes.
01:06:08 AI Simon, a friend,
01:06:12 His wife, Jenny, was a hedgehog.
01:06:14 And Cindy Salkind was a fox.
01:06:18 And Lou Patrino was a hedgehog.
01:06:23 I had the impression that
01:06:27 ...you weren't quite into it.
01:06:30 No. No!
01:06:34 I mean....
01:06:37 You know....
01:06:39 I told you the problems
01:06:43 No!
01:06:44 It was wonderful.
01:06:48 I've hurt your feelings, right?
01:06:50 Don't get the wrong impression.
01:06:54 Me too.
01:07:01 I used to get excited
01:07:04 Somewhere along the line,
01:07:09 It's okay.
01:07:11 What? That I'm not responsive?
01:07:14 We had a nice experience.
01:07:16 We had two separate, nice experiences.
01:07:19 -But they were nice.
01:07:27 -No wonder your husband went crazy.
01:07:31 Oh, come on, Sally.
01:07:37 -You hungry?
01:07:40 Oh, stop it.
01:07:43 What was that?
01:07:46 -There's been some burglaries.
01:07:51 Well, call the police.
01:08:07 -Who are you?
01:08:09 -Jack, my God!
01:08:13 -Who's this?
01:08:15 -None of your business. Leave.
01:08:19 -Are you all right?
01:08:22 Is he living here?
01:08:24 -Don't get upset.
01:08:27 -This is my house, pal.
01:08:31 I can talk to him. Go upstairs.
01:08:33 -Where's he going?
01:08:36 -You going up to our bed?
01:08:40 Listen, you need some black coffee.
01:08:44 Listen, I want to come back.
01:08:47 -You're drunk.
01:08:53 This is not the place to discuss this.
01:08:57 -This is my fucking house.
01:09:02 This is my house now.
01:09:05 -I want to start over again.
01:09:10 Sally, can I help?
01:09:11 -Oh, please.
01:09:17 -This is ridiculous!
01:09:20 -I don't believe this.
01:09:24 You.... Listen.
01:09:28 This was not all my fault.
01:09:32 -I didn't say it was all your fault.
01:09:37 I would just break my back
01:09:42 What do you want me to say?
01:09:44 Our marriage was full of problems.
01:09:48 Some were my fault, some were yours.
01:09:51 You lied to me, you cheated on me--
01:09:54 Why don't you run upstairs--?
01:09:56 -There's a stranger here.
01:09:59 He knows. Swell.
01:10:01 You show me one couple that
01:10:06 It's tough.
01:10:12 -What about the one you lived with?
01:10:17 -Well, I've met someone I like.
01:10:22 I met someone I like.
01:10:27 What about all the years
01:10:32 Well...
01:10:34 ...you had no problem wiping them out
01:10:38 But l--
01:10:44 No! No! I can't discuss this now.
01:10:49 -You'll feel better tomorrow.
01:10:55 Oh, shit.
01:10:58 Hi. I need to speak to Jack.
01:11:02 -You're gonna leave me out there?
01:11:05 I have never been treated
01:11:09 -Perfect how you ruin a life.
01:11:13 -I need to see a shrink, slimebag!
01:11:17 This is about all of us.
01:11:19 -We don't have any secrets here.
01:11:22 -I never met a Scorpio who wasn't--
01:11:26 I'm going to bed.
01:11:31 What's the big deal?
01:11:32 So I did some things wrong.
01:11:44 The heart raged,
01:11:48 ...and toward what end? To articulate
01:11:53 It told him something.
01:11:56 ... competed for a single egg,
01:12:00 Men would make
01:12:04 ... even total strangers,
01:12:08 They were catering
01:12:12 While males had millions of
01:12:17 "Let us out, let us out!"
01:12:21 It was like personal ads.
01:12:25 Dozens of requirements followed by,
01:12:29 Feldman longed to meet an attractive
01:12:34 A sense of humour equal to his...
01:12:38 ...a love of music equal to his
01:12:41 ...Bach and balmy climates.
01:12:47 Pepkin married and led a warm,
01:12:51 Placid, but dull.
01:12:54 He eschewed nuptial ties
01:12:58 Nurses, housewives, students,
01:13:02 They all held Knapp between their legs.
01:13:05 Pepkin, from the calm of his
01:13:09 Knapp, lonely beyond belief,
01:13:14 What happened after the honeymoon?
01:13:18 ... or did familiarity make partners
01:13:22 Was the notion of
01:13:26 ...along with simultaneous orgasm?
01:13:29 The only time Rifkin and his wife
01:13:32 ... was when they were granted
01:13:36 Maybe in the end, the idea was
01:13:42 So the book was wonderful.
01:13:44 Entertaining,
01:13:47 You don't have to say this. You
01:13:51 You make suffering so funny.
01:13:54 The lost souls running around.
01:13:56 That's funny. I've had so much trouble
01:14:00 -Has anybody else read it?
01:14:05 I'm so thrilled you feel this way.
01:14:10 Your feelings
01:14:13 But you are a sucker for my work.
01:14:18 I'm objective and, yes,
01:14:23 -I had some criticisms--
01:14:28 What were they?
01:14:30 Nothing serious.
01:14:33 Really? I've had such a love-hate
01:14:39 -Oh my God, this can't be--
01:14:41 I think I left it in the cab.
01:14:46 You're kidding! ln a taxicab?
01:14:50 I can't believe I did this to you!
01:14:54 You left it in an lndian's cab?
01:14:57 No. He was Armenian.
01:14:58 That was the only copy.
01:15:00 -I know.
01:15:02 -Hargopian?
01:15:26 I was totally crushed.
01:15:29 This was the worst thing that happened.
01:15:32 -You put up a false front.
01:15:36 I was trying to bail her out.
01:15:39 So this book was very meaningful
01:15:44 -I guess so.
01:15:47 Her approbation was
01:15:51 Why was her encouragement
01:15:54 Your own wife liked it very much
01:16:02 I don't know. There was some kind
01:16:07 ...meaningful.
01:16:09 Hey! Hey!
01:16:13 They're waiting at the house now.
01:16:16 It's-- It's so Freudian.
01:16:20 What is?
01:16:24 The whole thing, leaving
01:16:28 Don't be silly.
01:16:32 No, I think maybe it meant something.
01:16:37 -Like what?
01:16:40 ...I don't know.
01:16:44 -Threatened by my book?
01:16:47 -I'm very competitive by nature.
01:16:52 Why, because I'm a young female?
01:16:55 Don't get angry.
01:16:58 -I'm your biggest fan.
01:17:05 I just think I could have been
01:17:11 Like what?
01:17:13 Some of the attitudes towards
01:17:18 -You told me you loved the book.
01:17:23 -What were your criticisms?
01:17:26 Tell me your criticisms.
01:17:29 I was a little disappointed
01:17:33 Like what? What attitudes? With what?
01:17:37 The way people just
01:17:41 The book doesn't condone affairs.
01:17:45 Are our choices really between chronic
01:17:51 I'm deliberately distorting it.
01:17:55 ...how hard it is to be married.
01:17:58 You have to be careful not to
01:18:02 Jesus, I hope I haven't.
01:18:04 The lead character's
01:18:08 ...is so retrograde, so shallow.
01:18:11 What?
01:18:14 I never said great, I said it's...
01:18:17 ...brilliant and it's alive.
01:18:19 We're not arguing about
01:18:24 Triumph of the Will was a great
01:18:29 So you despise my ideas?
01:18:32 No, I don't despise them.
01:18:38 Isn't it beneath you as a thinker...
01:18:41 ...to allow your lead character
01:18:46 ...obsessing over a psychotic woman...
01:18:49 ...that you fantasize as powerfully
01:18:54 ...when she was pitifully sick.
01:18:56 I don't need a lecture on writing
01:19:01 You asked to read my book,
01:19:05 -And I do.
01:19:07 You're weeping, I'm consoling you
01:19:11 Okay. Well, I must have hit a nerve.
01:19:14 Well, yeah. You know....
01:19:17 I'd hate to be your boyfriend.
01:19:22 Well, I'm worth it.
01:19:41 -Any trouble finding the house?
01:19:45 Please. Step this way.
01:19:47 I'm so glad you found the house.
01:19:50 -This was so nice.
01:19:52 I jumped in the cab and wound
01:19:56 That's so nice of you.
01:20:00 -No, it's okay.
01:20:03 -I want you to stay for coffee.
01:20:07 -I won't take no for--
01:20:10 -We'll have coffee.
01:20:13 -I'm sorry--
01:20:16 It was totally--
01:20:18 If you don't mind my saying,
01:20:23 I admit it,
01:20:28 ...I found attractive.
01:20:33 That she was not a passive,
01:20:38 Something in me sensed...
01:20:43 ...not that I'd
01:20:46 ...I had, you know,
01:20:50 A week later,
01:20:53 This was celebrated over dinner.
01:20:56 You can't just wipe out
01:21:01 You think you can.
01:21:04 I think some people are just not
01:21:08 Everybody screws up.
01:21:12 ...do you learn from it?
01:21:14 I think the true test is
01:21:18 Everyone looks great when
01:21:22 It's great. If you can be
01:21:27 It's not that. You just start...
01:21:30 ...thinking about priorities.
01:21:33 How long can you discuss
01:21:38 And this Michael character
01:21:42 -How was Michael?
01:21:46 I gave him a call and he did sound
01:21:50 I guess I really pulled the rug
01:21:54 Although his real crush is on Judy.
01:21:57 -Not to offend you, Gabe.
01:22:00 I love it when someone likes Judy.
01:22:04 Gabe needs confirmation
01:22:08 That's a terrible thing to say.
01:22:11 I'd watch it if I were you, Gabe.
01:22:14 He always talks about Judy
01:22:17 I think those poems you wrote
01:22:22 Here's to a good marriage.
01:22:25 -The best two people can hope for.
01:22:41 -I didn't know about the poetry.
01:22:46 -Well, why not?
01:22:49 I'd be embarrassed
01:22:52 -Why?
01:22:55 What are you talking about?
01:22:57 -You're very, very judgmental.
01:23:01 I'm crazy about Shakespeare
01:23:05 My stuff isn't that good yet.
01:23:08 -I'd give an objective evaluation.
01:23:12 I'd like something a little more
01:23:16 -From that character in your office?
01:23:21 -Do you love him?
01:23:26 -I saw Dr. Ritchie today.
01:23:30 I went back into psychotherapy.
01:23:32 You don't need psychotherapy,
01:23:36 Why? Because she's postmodern?
01:23:39 Anyone who thinks the Sabine women
01:23:44 That's not it.
01:23:46 -I don't flirt.
01:23:49 I've seen you do it.
01:23:51 You put on a different personality.
01:23:53 -You're crazy.
01:23:58 -Like?
01:24:00 That's flirting. You couldn't survive
01:24:05 You misrepresented yourself to me.
01:24:08 What do you mean by that?
01:24:10 Like you had one child then
01:24:13 -I'm not the same person I was.
01:24:19 -You hate change.
01:24:22 Bullshit. That's bullshit!
01:24:25 Maybe your students think it's
01:24:31 Life is made of change.
01:24:33 If you don't change,
01:24:36 I don't want to.
01:24:42 You use sex to express every
01:24:46 You were attracted to me...
01:24:48 ...because in some way,
01:24:52 But my sanity disappointed you.
01:24:55 I liked you because
01:24:59 -And you found that too boring.
01:25:02 ...as it turns out you were
01:25:06 -So I did remind you of Harriet.
01:25:09 ...I had a feeling you
01:25:12 On the surface you were...
01:25:15 ...but now that we're having problems,
01:25:19 This is all very clear to me.
01:25:22 --we both couldn't sleep one night,
01:25:26 ...and we found Wild Strawberries
01:25:30 ...we stayed up all night watching it?
01:25:36 We were going to the faculty dinner
01:25:41 ...on an icy black night.
01:25:45 Suddenly we decided not to go
01:25:48 ...it was such a beautiful night.
01:25:53 You could see every star. You were
01:26:00 -Don't do that.
01:26:04 Because it's over and we both know it.
01:26:07 Do we?
01:26:09 All that stuff--
01:26:13 They're from years gone by.
01:26:17 They're isolated moments...
01:26:19 ...they don't tell the whole story.
01:26:25 Several days later,
01:26:30 I wasn't being totally honest
01:26:33 Because I didn't want to hurt him.
01:26:37 I was in love with Michael.
01:26:42 ...pursue that and not have to lie
01:26:48 How could I be 100 honest with Judy?
01:26:52 I loved her
01:26:55 What am I gonna say?
01:26:58 That I'm becoming infatuated
01:27:02 That I see myself sleepwalking
01:27:07 Then why didn't you stop yourself?
01:27:09 There was something in my marriage
01:27:14 -There was excitement there.
01:27:18 I know. Everything about
01:27:22 That did not deter me.
01:27:25 If anything, as usual,
01:27:29 So, what is it?
01:27:34 I don't know.
01:27:36 ...does not know from logic.
01:27:44 Hello?
01:27:46 Oh, Michael, please.
01:27:49 I can't keep discussing this.
01:27:52 It was a decision I needed to make--
01:27:57 I said I'm sorry.
01:28:05 No. I don't want to have a drink.
01:28:09 Well, you make it hard!
01:28:14 Later, Judy helped Michael get
01:28:21 Here we go.
01:28:23 -Heavens, Judy.
01:28:25 That's mine, where's yours?
01:28:28 I am so happy that's not true.
01:28:34 Thanks.
01:28:37 Right, shall I be mum?
01:28:40 -It's a real treat.
01:29:00 -Where's your wife?
01:29:05 Oh, you writers. You're so....
01:29:08 Happy birthday!
01:29:10 Did you meet that woman Jessica?
01:29:14 No, I met Angela, though.
01:29:16 -Did you see that?
01:29:19 It's incredible, this time of year.
01:29:22 Oh, I love storms.
01:29:25 They said we were supposed to
01:29:29 -It's really coming down heavy.
01:29:36 It's dangerous.
01:29:44 She looks great.
01:29:46 She's 21 !
01:29:50 -Our littler Rainer.
01:29:56 It's our 25th wedding
01:30:02 Don't worry.
01:30:05 I know I paid that bill.
01:30:07 Take some of these candles out there.
01:30:22 I can't believe this.
01:30:26 Oh, this is just my luck on my own
01:30:31 You look very pretty in candlelight.
01:30:35 Oh, did you see the lightning flashes?
01:30:39 It's supposed to get worse. How's
01:30:45 Happy birthday.
01:30:46 I didn't want to give it to
01:30:51 ...it could be misconstrued, so...
01:30:56 -...I've been hiding it in my jacket.
01:31:06 That's lovely!
01:31:08 That is so pretty.
01:31:11 Happy birthday.
01:31:12 -Why would it be misconstrued?
01:31:17 Because you have a boyfriend.
01:31:21 People wouldn't understand.
01:31:23 It wouldn't look funny at all.
01:31:27 -You know what I'd really like?
01:31:34 A nice birthday kiss.
01:31:37 -You want a birthday kiss?
01:31:43 Happy birthday.
01:31:46 -That's all?
01:31:49 What do you mean?
01:31:53 You want me to stick
01:31:58 Come on, you know what I mean.
01:32:01 You got a boyfriend in the other room.
01:32:04 I know. It's not serious.
01:32:08 Listen, I can't even
01:32:11 Not that I haven't thought about it.
01:32:14 I have, but it's just too crazy. I--
01:32:17 It's so disappointing.
01:32:20 It isn't disappointing.
01:32:23 You couldn't ask for a
01:32:27 I mean, it's my 21 st birthday, and...
01:32:30 ...we're in a storm,
01:32:34 -...the rain sweeping the skyline.
01:32:39 ...$50,000 worth of psychotherapy...
01:32:43 -...dialling 911 now?
01:32:46 I'm sorry. I've had a
01:32:50 -Me too. I had....
01:32:53 You want to kiss?
01:32:58 You want an actual,
01:33:01 -Yes.
01:33:04 -At once?
01:33:07 -I gotta tell you.
01:33:28 I was just hoping that lightning
01:33:32 ...because it was tumultuous outside.
01:33:37 ...the scene had to be played.
01:33:41 ...I wanted to kiss her,
01:33:45 ...but I figured,
01:33:48 ...would come right
01:33:52 ...and that I would die.
01:33:54 I don't want to spend Sunday together,
01:33:59 -Be alone! I'm not pushing you.
01:34:04 ...quiet, steady way of yours.
01:34:09 " Understanding."
01:34:12 I still have feelings for Sally.
01:34:16 Feelings I don't think
01:34:19 Oh, God! Where are you--?
01:34:24 -I'm sorry.
01:34:27 -I need you.
01:34:31 I'm glad to know.
01:34:32 -You are so self-centred!
01:34:36 I didn't mean those things.
01:34:38 -Why did you say them?
01:34:41 -I never want to hurt you.
01:34:45 It's not bullshit. I don't
01:34:57 -Did you shut the windows?
01:35:00 ...it's a good thing we fixed
01:35:06 Even now I'm still scared of thunder.
01:35:12 We would have been nuts to
01:35:16 We'd have been swerving all over.
01:35:20 -I'm glad we stayed home.
01:35:25 When we were apart,
01:35:30 I was scared enough sleeping alone.
01:35:34 Sometimes you can be alone
01:35:45 Should we have given those
01:35:49 -We did buy them for them.
01:35:54 ...the situation's
01:36:03 A year and a half later,
01:36:07 Judy was married to Michael.
01:36:09 -So, you happy?
01:36:13 Yes, I think things have
01:36:17 -He puts up with my idiosyncrasies.
01:36:22 She's passive-aggressive.
01:36:27 She wanted me, she wanted Gabe...
01:36:30 ...she wanted the job at the magazine,
01:36:35 ...she wants Michael....
01:36:38 I disagree.
01:36:41 When Sally went back to Jack,
01:36:44 Not at first, but when I
01:36:49 Gee, I hope I didn't push.
01:36:54 We're doing fine. Really.
01:36:58 ...tolerate our problems more.
01:37:02 I've learned, anyway, that love is...
01:37:05 ...not about passion and
01:37:10 It's also about companionship and...
01:37:14 ...it's like a buffer against
01:37:18 That stuff is important.
01:37:22 What kills most people is
01:37:27 What about things that
01:37:30 Like sexual problems, for instance.
01:37:33 -Unresolved.
01:37:40 Well, there's some things you
01:37:44 ...you have to live with it.
01:37:46 You construct some
01:37:50 -But sometimes they flare up.
01:37:54 ...it gets tough when that happens.
01:37:57 You learn to deal with it and then
01:38:01 And it works. That's the weird thing.
01:38:06 You can't force yourself to
01:38:10 ...vision of love, or...
01:38:13 ...you know, marriage.
01:38:17 Whatever works is the deal.
01:38:19 Ours is just one way.
01:38:22 It's funny. Last year when
01:38:27 ...and we announced so flippantly
01:38:30 -I wasn't that confident.
01:38:34 I remember thinking
01:38:37 They had such a great marriage.
01:38:40 It's ironic that we're
01:38:43 -Yeah.
01:38:46 I had a romantic moment...
01:38:49 ...with Rain at her
01:38:53 ...and I could feel
01:38:58 The old attraction coming back.
01:39:02 ... from my past.
01:39:10 That was a-- That was a...
01:39:13 ...a great moment.
01:39:17 ...follow up on it.
01:39:19 What do you--?
01:39:23 Well, you know, I just....
01:39:27 If I was younger,
01:39:31 ...or anything different,
01:39:34 ...I just feel I know how
01:39:40 You sure?
01:39:43 I am. You know, I really am.
01:40:03 I knew how it would end.
01:40:08 And I left and I walked out
01:40:14 I just headed instinctively
01:40:18 ...because I wanted to hold Judy
01:40:21 ...and say things to her, and then...
01:40:24 ...then I realized that, you know,
01:40:29 So, what's your life like now?
01:40:33 I'm out of the race for now.
01:40:38 I don't want to hurt anyone.
01:40:42 I don't mind living by
01:40:46 It's temporary.
01:40:48 I'll have the urge to get back
01:40:53 That seems to be how it goes.
01:40:56 I'm writing, I'm working on a...
01:40:59 ...a new novel. Not the old
01:41:04 -...it's fine.
01:41:07 My novel? Yes, it's less
01:41:15 Can I go? Is this over?
